Macanudo French Oak Limited Edition 2021 Cigar - 1 Single by Paul

Tried this on an absolute whim. Really nice mild smoke. Lasted around an hour and didn't get harsh at any point. Was delightful from start to finish. Also, very robust and nicely rolled. I'm a bit of a slobberer and do often find, with cigars of this length, that they tend to flake a little at the gob end. No such problem with this guy. Would highly recommend

Mantis C.Gars Ltd OVO Triple Jet Flame Lighter - Grey by Christopher

Fearsome triple flame that needs careful use. It has burned several pipe bowls, I could smell one burning the other day. Haphazard in igniting, sometimes I give up and let it rest for a while. Other times it lights first go then dies as I offer it to the bowl. Very fuel hungry. Apart from that it's alright but mind your digits, I've burned my fingers twice!

My Father Blue Petit Robusto Cigar - 1 Single by Stephen

I purchased one of these cigars from a local retailer rather than from C Gars. But I wanted to leave a review here because this was one of the best cigars that I have ever tasted. There is a sweetness to it and a wonderful aroma from the beginning. Part way through there is a distinct hint of chocolate that emerges and remains to the end. A full but smooth flavour throughout. I highly recommend this cigar - it is truly outstanding.

Mitchellero Double Up Sampler - 6 Cigars by Jordan

I picked these up because they were a good deal per stick, and I like keeping a range of sizes in my humidor. I don’t always have an hour to spare, so the smaller formats are ideal. As with most cigars, the longer sizes deliver more flavour, and these sticks tend to bring out creamy hazelnut notes in the final 3rd that I find very enjoyable. Construction is generally good and consistent. Occasionally there’s a minor burn issue that needs a quick touch-up, but for the most part they perform well. The final third can become slightly spongy, though it’s nowhere near as bad as with some other cigars I’ve had — and it’s entirely possible I was smoking a bit too quickly.

My Father Blue Robusto Cigar - 1 Single by Jacob

I would say this was my first proper cigar. I’ve smoked cigars before but always after too many drinks and always with no knowledge of what I’m smoking. This cigar I smoked in the late afternoon on a driech Scottish day. Paired with a glass of Leffe Blonde and a dram of 14 yr old Jura. On the dry inhale it had a woodland autumnal taste, perhaps a bit of old leather bound books. The first third was mellow, milk chocolate, flat white coffee. I loved it. The whisky tasted better, smoother, the sweetness of the bourbon cask really coming through. The second and final thirds progressed through a deeper coffee and darker chocolate flavour but never too bitter. I think the Leffe and Jura helped here. The retrohales were warm gentle spice throughout. It was marvellous, I'm going to buy another. I’ve not smoked anything to compare it to but that’s a high bar. No issues with how it burned or smoked. Thank you to My Father and the people who made this cigar. What a great introduction to cigar smoking.
